[ale] Get this, guys...

[Jeff Hubbs]

Hey, I phone-interviewed with a place in NC that wanted to pay $45K for
a do-everything IT manager.  I politely informed the gentlemen that I
was making over $60K when I was already doing many of the specific
things they said they needed done (and that was Government!) and that I
know a Windows admin in Norcross who's making ~48K without a degree. 
They wouldn't budge.

Get used to it.
